The ptiful story of Mrs. Jeanette ~ Disbrow, the
young and estimabie woman whose insanity at.
tempted suicide and death on June II resulted from
the effect upon her sensitive nature Of suit tor an

K. Gilbert, private detectives, were employed 10

they were Swallowed" The men secured apartments
nearly opposite Mr.. llarriss house and kept con-
slant watch upon the two women. This was brought
to the attention of Mr. Harris who appealed to The
police authorities tor protection from this annoy ance
Police Detectives Heidelberg ana DOlan were detailed
the and March q, accompanied b. Mr.
Harris, Benno Loewy, his counsel, and Defective
Gilbert, they proceeded to the Office OF lie Roy
Cove, lawyer in the Vanderbilt Building in Nassau.

would be found. Merklein 1t was asserted, had pre-
viousy called upon Mr.. Harris, given him an assumed
name and informed him that he had damaging IN
formation ahou. his wites sister. When they ell
tered the Office they found Merklein there and Ser
geant Heidelberg for the first time learned that he

but he appeared as a witness for Mr.. Harris After
Merklen and Mr.. Dsbrow. who was present at the
time OF the arrest, had told how it was made, wit
nesscs Tor the defence including Harris Heidelberg
and Loewy testified that Harris had nothing 10 do

nephew he determined TO arrest him on bis own
responsibility, as Merklein by previous crime toe
which he had been imprisoned in New-Jersey, aud by
entering into what Heidelberg designated "a black
